Dominic Koenig · CEO & Co-Founder at Sidekick
I have really been enjoying Sidekick. It has been great to know that there is someone taking care of tasks that I don't have time for.
I had a long backlog of issues in my home that I just couldn't get to with my work schedule. My Sidekick Christine has completed every one of them. I have my weekends back and a lot less worry about all the things I need to do. I could not recommend Sidekick more!
Since I have been using Sidekick, I have become aware of how much time I spend on small tasks that steal my attention from bigger dreams that I want to give attention to. Sidekick has helped me to spend more time on things that I love doing, like making time for cycling.
Sidekick has been a game changer to my lifestyle. Christine has been able to help me across a myriad of tasks and has been a pleasure to work with.
I have had tremendous value from having Yolandi as my Sidekick. It helps to have someone intelligent, diligent, and committed helping me get things done that take up time and/or mental space that can be better used on higher importance tasks. The most important contribution is that having someone take care of these things helps drive the action on my side that is required to get things done. Sidekick is set up well in terms of how the arrangement and time tracking etc works and Yolandi fitted seamlessly into my life. I would honestly recommend this service to anyone who needs some things taken off the to-do list.
What's the cost investment?
"You're spending time to save money when you should be spending money to save time"
A Sidekick is your part-time personal assistant, ready to lend a helping hand whenever you need it.
Think of it as your trusty companion for tackling any mundane tasks that might come your way. Whether it's organising your schedule, finding gifts, sorting out your car insurance, researching information, or even ordering groceries, your Sidekick is there to make your life easier.
With a Sidekick at your side, you can focus on what truly matters to you while leaving the rest to your capable assistant.
Simply via WhatsApp. You can send messages to your Sidekick on WhatsApp to delegate tasks, ask questions, or request assistance.
Your Sidekick will also send a weekly status report on WhatsApp that specifies tasks completed during the week, what's in progress, and what's coming up.
Your Sidekick keeps track of all tasks on Notion's task tracking tool. You can engage on Notion too if you'd like to, but it's not necessary.
Your Sidekick will be able to adapt to your own task management tool if you'd prefer.
Most importantly, our Sidekicks are trained to be helpful, solve problems and get things done. These skills apply to a wide range of tasks.
To ensure we are up-to-date and well-versed in specific areas such as banking, gifting, and more, we undergo consistent workshops and training.
We meet weekly and have a group chat to solve problems. This ongoing learning process allows us to provide you with the most helpful assistance when you need it.
Your privacy and security are of utmost importance to us.
Our data is stored on secure servers. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us for further information and clarification.
Your satisfaction is our priority. We work hard to select the best personal assistants, and train them thoroughly.
If you're not entirely happy with the work your Sidekick has done, send a message to your Customer Success Manager.
The following options will be considered:
Our goal is to make sure you receive the assistance you need, and we are committed to finding a solution that works best for you.
Your feedback is invaluable, and we are here to make your Sidekick experience as positive and beneficial as possible.
Yes — you can cancel anytime with 20 business days' notice.
The reason for the 20-business-days notice period is simple: to attract and retain high-quality Sidekicks, we need to offer them a reasonable degree of financial stability. That month gives your Sidekick time to line up new clients if needed, so they're never left in the lurch.
